U ncaring doctor and questions about getting off Xolair

[Guest guest]

I've been on Xolair a year and a half. For the first 6 months, I felt

that t did help me;However,since November asthma has gotten worse. What

has happened when anyone on the list got off xolair?

My allergist, who is uncaring, insists that I get off it but he doesn't

know what to do for me. I take everything except regular prednisone. He

suggested National Jewish or a pulmonologist. I doubt National Jewish

could help much, after what I've heard about it. Would a pulmonologist

be better than an allergist? I am definitely changing doctors because

thisd one is a ^ & *()_+.

I take pulmicort, foradil, theophylline, volmax, singulair,beconase,

astelin. Since November have been on 6 rounds of steroids. Finally

raised the theophylline, which has helped.

Needless to say, this is all very depressing and I never feel very

good. My doctor becomes angry when I talk about something that I have

researched or bring in some information. I asked about raising the

Xolair and he said nobody does that. Of course, I argued with him to no

avail.
